Real-world example (video)
Here's a real-world example from my MSG experience. We had the following play in the first half:
The C -who was also our R - called the defender for a block. No problem. Not two minutes later we had a similar play at the other end, the difference being there wasn't any contact but A1 still hit the deck. None of us called anything. At halftime, the no-call was the only play the observer said he was upset with.
Now, he admitted to us he’d been sitting behind the basket at the end of the court where the first play took place so it looked exactly the same to him when it was at the other end. Our R told him about the contact situation on the second play and the observer said if he’d been sitting at midcourt his feelings might have been different but the overriding factor was it was a similar play and we didn’t come up with similar calls.
